Team members & roles

Your company in Arvello doesn't have to be a solo act. The Members tab of Settings → Company is where you bring in a co-founder, an accountant or anyone else who works in the books, each with their own login — far better than sharing a password and hoping.

Everyone you invite sees the same company data; the role controls what they can change.

Inviting someone

Press Invite Members, enter their email address, pick a role, and send. You can add several invitations in one go with Add another one. Each person gets an email with a link to join the company — if they don't have an Arvello account yet, they create one on the way in.

Invitations wait in the Pending Invites list until accepted. From there you can resend one that's been missed, renew one that's expired, or delete one sent in error. Inviting requires an active subscription, and your plan sets how many team members a company can have — more on that below.

Roles: Owner, Member and Advisor

There are three roles:

• Owner — full control of the company's administration: company settings, inviting people, changing roles, removing members, and managing the plan and billing.
• Member — works in the books day to day — invoices, expenses, banking, payroll, VAT, reports — and can edit company settings and send invitations, but can't manage billing, change anyone's role or remove members.
• Advisor — read-only. An advisor sees everything in the books but can't create, edit or delete anything. It suits an auditor, or an accountant who only reviews your work. Advisors see a banner explaining this; if one needs to make changes, an Owner can change their role to Member.

One person additionally carries the Primary Owner badge: whoever created the company (or later received ownership). Only the primary owner can transfer ownership to someone else — it's confirmed by typing TRANSFER — or delete the company entirely.

Changing a role or removing someone

From the member's row in the list, Change Role moves them between Owner, Member and Advisor, and Remove from Account takes them out of the company. Removal is immediate — they lose access straight away and need a fresh invitation to come back. You can only manage people whose role sits below your own, so Members can't demote Owners.

People can also leave of their own accord, from the danger zone at the bottom of the Company details tab.

Team size and your plan

How many people can join depends on the plan: Solo includes 1 team member (that's you), Growth up to 3, and Business up to 10. Every role takes a seat, Advisors included, and so does each pending invitation until it's accepted or deleted. There's no per-seat fee for team members — when the team outgrows the plan, the route to more seats is a higher plan. See Plans & billing.

When every seat is taken, the Invite Members button is replaced by a notice saying so. Owners get an Upgrade Plan button there that opens the Billing page; you can also free a seat by deleting a pending invitation you no longer need. Without an active subscription, the notice offers Choose a Plan instead. On Business, the plan with the most seats, there's nothing to upgrade to, so the notice suggests removing a member or a pending invitation instead, or emailing us at info@arvello.ee if you need more.

One distinction worth keeping straight: the €5 per person add-on you may have seen on the pricing page is for payroll people — the employees and board members you pay through People — not for team members who log in. Your accountant on the team costs nothing extra; a sixth employee on the payroll is what the add-on covers.
